So here's the thing. When they say "Texas" in the royal sense like all of Texas is trying to will something, what they actually mean is the people and institutions capable of affecting change in Texas. Essentially the government and it's various arms.

Due to the fact that lobbying is very real and backroom payments are allowed to be a thing, the government inevitably bends to the entities with the most money. Guess who those entities are.

So when you say

Maybe Texas should, you know, transition to selling wind energy so their economy doesn't crash

what you're saying is

Maybe all those people who make their obscene riches in oil should give up their golden goose and let other people make their money in alternative energy forms

There's no reality where they go for that. "Texas" is always going to fight tooth and nail to keep alternate forms of energy down, because the biggest money in Texas is oil. The people have no control over that.
